Whiteside had 21 points (9-10 FG, 3-6 FT), 18 rebounds, five blocks and two assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss at Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has clear limitations in his game, but he has been very productive for Portland over the last few weeks. During his last 10 contests, the veteran big man is averaging 17.1 points, 16.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks in 33.1 minutes per contest. He has registered double-digit boards and multiple blocks in each of those games, while scoring at least 15 points nine times. He will aim to extend this strong run of play Saturday on the road at Oklahoma City.

Whiteside posted 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Staying near the paint and shooting quick upon pick-and-rolls gave Whiteside another double-double after snapping his streak at seven on Jan. 13. The 30-year-old is heading into the open market after this season, so it may be imperative he obtains the double-digit points and boards that are parts of his profile. The impending free agent heads to a Friday game with Dallas having averaged an amazing 18 points, 16.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks on the road in 2020.

Whiteside had seven points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes during Monday's 115-112 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside had a rough night from the field, ending a seven-game stretch where he scored 15 or more points. He continues to produce both on the glass and defensively, however, registering double-digit boards and multiple blocks in each of his last eight outings. The veteran big man has scored in double digits in all but two games since the start of December, and he could be primed for a bounce-back effort Wednesday at Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has been an absolute double-double machine this season, accomplishing that feat in 20 of his last 22 games. He has also recorded multiple blocks in seven straight games, and he is averaging 17.9 points, 17.0 rebounds and 3.7 blocks during that seven-game stretch. He has been one of the most productive big men in most formats over the last few weeks.

Whiteside (illness) is active for Thursday's matchup against Minnesota, Jamie Goldberg of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside's availability Thursday wasn't looking good early on, as the center came down with the bug Thursday and didn't participate in morning shootaround. However, a late turn of events will propel Whiteside into the lineup against the Timberwolves. It's unclear, though, if the 30-year-old will be a full-go or have his minutes restricted.

Whiteside is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Timberwolves due to an upper respiratory illness, Danny Cunningham of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside might miss his first game since Nov. 23. He's been fantastic across the past six games, averaging 18.3 points, 17.5 rebounds, 4.0 blocks and 1.3 assists. If he ends up sidelined against Minnesota, coach Terry Stotts may have to utilize a variety of small-ball lineups. Anthony Tolliver would be a strong candidate to start at center.
